Looks like you had a lot of fun. It takes some practice to make those yaw movements smoothly and more slowly but you'll get it.

Watching others videos I can definitely see the skill they have. But it's fun learning to fly it.

Use Turtle mode when you're yawing. Makes it much smoother.

I will remember that, I had it set half way cause it climbs soooooo slowly in turtle mode.

Ha...true enough. You can lengthen the sticks by unscrewing the knurled top. That makes it a little easier to control. Some guys use their thumb and finger to hold onto the stick to make a smooth yaw.

I start out in rabbit mode till I get to where I want to start filming, then I use turtle mode.

Yup, I'm a pincher. 20+ years of flying RC heli's.

Your not the nervous type. I didn't go that far from straight up for a long time.

I think it did real well. The video dropped a few times around 900 ft away, but it picked it back up after a second.

I live in "The Great Eastern Forest". Even with boosters and a range extender, I loose video at about 800ft, even if the camera is facing me. Cuts down on the options a bit, unless I climb up on something taller than the trees.

****, I can't even see 800 ft away
